It's been a real bit huh, aside from the meme upload in August, and before that the lil Kirby bit for the release of Forgotten Land.
To get right to the point - I'm still working slowly on the project I've teased twice on here in the past. A concoction of real bad procrastination, many start and stops moments when prioritizing things in life and honestly bouting with mental health for a good chunk of the year have all had their elements to this. Now don't worry, what I just spoke about hold far more priority than a silly 1 min toon, I don't share this lightly and thankfully with help and therapy I'm on the better side of working on it and further investigating myself to get better.
THAT ALL SAID! I still love doing this, this project still makes me laugh and holds some of my proudest bits that I can say "yo, you made that. Tell that imposter syndrome "No... you're poopie, go away", you wanted to try and achieve something you ain't done before with character animation, you studied other artists that you get inspired from and you managed to put it onto virtual paper" - and on that note is why regardless of these hurdles I'm still working on this fan toon. Even if it's just a doing a dozen or so clean line art pieces a day (no exaggeration) I'm a slither bit closer to the end product than if I didn't do 'em.
But aside from that update, I did pause to make a couple quickfire "living" illustrations on my twitter recently, the latter to promote this really cool Donkey Kong Land review which that game deserves more love. The art to the latter is via this link: twitter.com/SpiderKnife/status/1577396967726059541…
Anyways I'm done writing here. Thank you for reading. I'll be going back to animating while having Janet Jackson's "If" on repeat (the first bridge in the song is my lifeforce for today. Such a great piece of music filled with energy, a solid New Jack Swing beat and harmonies that builds to the chorus. Love it!)
